While the instances of negative Human Leopard interactions are increasing and also the number of leopards increasing the government has plans to do the neutering of leopards to control their growing population.
MLC Satyajeet Tambe urged neutering leopards to control their growing population and wrote a formal letter to the Maharashtra government regarding the same. Responding to the letter, the state Forest Minister Ganesh Naik has responded positively to sterilising leopards. However, since permission from the central government is required to execute the decision, the proposal will be sent to the central government, Forest Minister Ganesh Naik mentioned at a press conference on Tuesday evening.
